What is the proper consistency for salsa?

I prefer my salsa somewhere in the middle – not too smooth, not too chunky.

If it's still too chunky, keep pulsing it until it's perfect.

How do you fix runny salsa?

I usually scoop my salsa into a fine mesh strainer and let it strain out a lot of the liquid and then stir just a bit back in. Remove seeds and watery bits from the inside and add lime juice at the end after i've strained out most of the liquid.
